The Limits To Perpendicular Recording
peterkern writes "Samsung has a new hard drive and says it can now store 667 GB on one disk, which comes out to be about 739 Gb/sq. in. That is more than five times the density when perpendicular recording was introduced back in 2006, and it is getting close to the generally expected soft limit of 1 Tb/sq. in. It's great that we can now store 2 TB on one hard drive and that 3-TB hard drives are already feasible. But how far can it go? It appears that the hard drive industry may start talking about heat-assisted magnetic recording again, soon."
A simple video to explain perpendicular recording!

What about harder and stronger?

My laptop's hard drive already utilizes heat-assisted magnetic erasing, though it tends to work on an entire drive at a time.
